Flows nicely into everyone's favorite, "I Will Take You Home" -- so popular it's not even listed as an option because it would crash the server

Dancin' in the Streets
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Coming out of Scarlet Begonias, has a bit more of a '76 vibe than most of 77-78

Oakland Auditorium

Not a long version, but erupting with shards of pure sweet Jerry. From the Road Trips 3.1 bonus disc.

The Music Never Stopped
July 17, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

If it's on Fallout From the Phil Zone, you can be sure its one of the best versions of that song, at least from the era it was taken from.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

I think now that it's Dave's PIcks 7, this show will get a lot more attention.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Watching Sunshine Daydream in the movie theater, this version of China/Rider was a revelation.

Cow Palace

Also, the only pre-hiatus version. Interesting that they decided not to perform it during the rest of '74.
Jack Straw
Oct. 21, 1971
Auditorium Theatre

Stuff like that is why Robert Hunter stopped working with Bobby LOL.
